Default hello

new guy here to the ls-1 world.

i am in the process of putting a 6 liter block(ls-1 heads, ls6 intake) in my 64 nova, with a T-72 turbo.
i am looking forward to getting her back on the road, she has been down now for about a year or so ( was wasting all of my money on my KB 03 cobra)

anyways i look forward to BSing with you guys, and learning some stuff.
i will try and get some pics up soon of the car.

What problems did you run into?

i didn't run into any problems at all. car ran great had it for two years.i will miss that car, but i need something i could drive everyday and haul stuff in. so i put the cobra back to stock and traded it in on a truck
and i missed driving my nova (had it for 9 years now, first car) i just bought a house and can't afford to hot rod two cars.

but good news, i got some more parts for my 6.0 turbo built.
ls-1 heads (241) ls-6 intake, & TB, and some coil packs. so now all i need is some front and rear covers,valve covers and some money for rods and pistons.

Nice ride! I see it's a ChevyII (lighter weight) and not a Nova. I've had a few of each (varying years...65, 67, 68, 72). One of my friends back in LA has a 65 SS, 4 speed with numbers matching 327. He's had the car for 25 years. Needless to say except for tires/wheels and disk brake conversion on the front he's leaving it stock. He has kept the original tires and brakes just in case.
